Embodiment Construction

[0021] With reference now to the figures, and in particular with reference to FIG. 1, a pictorial representation of a distributed data processing system is depicted in which the present invention may be implemented.

[0022] Distributed data processing system 100 is a network of computers in which the present invention may be implemented. Distributed data processing system 100 contains network 102, which is the medium used to provide communications links between various devices and computers connected within distributed data processing system 100. Network 102 may include permanent connections, such as wire or fiber optic cables, or temporary connections made through telephone connections.

[0023] In the depicted example, central Knowledge Management (cKM) server 104 is connected to network 102, along with local Knowledge Management (lKM) servers 106-112. In addition, a centralized “Golden” Registry 114 is connected to cKM server 104. The “golden” registry 114 is a centralized registry ...

Abstract

A system for managing digital assets in a distributed data processing system is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a network of data processing systems, a plurality of local knowledge management servers connected to the network wherein each of the plurality of local knowledge management servers is connected to and maintains a local digital asset repository, a central knowledge management server, and a central registry of digital assets. Each of the plurality of local knowledge management servers sends location and identifying information concerning a digital asset to the central knowledge management server whenever a digital asset is saved to a local digital asset repository corresponding to an appropriate one of the plurality of knowledge management servers. The central knowledge management server stores the location and identifying information concerning the digital asset in the central registry of digital assets.
